I was catching up on my reading of BonigBoing<\/a> today and was led to a link in EFF Deep Links<\/a> that mentioned a piece put up by the Berkman Center for the Internet and Society at Harvard Law School<\/a> describing the work of the Open Net Initiative.<\/a><\/p>\n

“The OpenNet Initiative is a collaborative partnership of four leading academic institutions: the Citizen Lab<\/a> at the Munk Centre for International Studies, University of Toronto, Berkman Center for Internet & Society<\/a> at Harvard Law School, the Advanced Network Research Group at the Cambridge Security Programme<\/a>, University of Cambridge, and the Oxford Internet Institute<\/a>, Oxford University.<\/p>\n

Our aim is to investigate, expose and analyze Internet filtering and surveillance practices in a credible and non-partisan fashion. We intend to uncover the potential pitfalls and unintended consequences of these practices, and thus help to inform better public policy and advocacy work in this area.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Web site for the Open Net Initiative contains a Global Internet Filtering Map<\/a>. You select the type of filtering – political, social, security, Internet tools, and then get a visual representation of the type of filtering in place – pervasive, selected, substantial, and so on.<\/p>\n

The site and, of course, the organization provides an objective international view of filtering.<\/p>\n

Taking a more subjective and activist oriented role Peacefire <\/a> has since the 1990s provided tools for circumventing filters. This site is aimed at teenagers whose Internet activities are being blocked and filtered by commercial software.<\/p>\n
